GeoPod

Thank you for listening to our first season of the GeoPod. We have an exciting season 2 coming soon with a whole new focus. 

In the second last episode of Season 1, we chat with Yashena Naidoo from the Gauteng City-Region Observatory (GCRO). Yashena tells us about their Quality of Life survey (https://gcro.ac.za/research/project/detail/quality-of-life-survey-v-201718/) and some of the tools she uses daily, such as Tableau (https://www.tableau.com). Lastly, she also tells us about some of the tips she has picked up on creating a good cv.

Due to our currect schedules, a new episode of GeoPod will only be released every two weeks. We hope to bring you more content in the future. 

With the national lockdown and classes restarted we were away for a couple weeks, but we are back this week with a very interesting chat with Jade Weideman. After completing her BScHons degree in 2018, Jade started her career in New Zealand at GBS (https://gbs.kiwi). Jade shared her experiences with us and also told us about the project life cycle they follow.

This week we chat with Luqmaan Hassim. He is currently working at the CSIR and completing his MIT Data Science at the University of Pretoria. Luqmaan tells us about his work at the CSIR in the marine management field. He also provide some great advise on being proactive in the job hunting process.
